Concealed Carry Classes

A word about the increased demand for concealed handgun licenses:

We've
been turning away people who only want the CHL class, but who don't want to
learn about the rules for using deadly force. If they aren't willing to learn how to drive, or learn the rules of
the road, then maybe they aren't ready for a driver's license.

Because
of so many mass shootings in the news recently, we've prioritized the "What Do I Do…?" (click on link) class with the option of
adding the Oregon CHL certificate for another $35. Even if you already have your CHL, taking the "What Do I Do…?"(click on link) class will open your eyes to tactical and legal defense issues that you may never have considered.

- "I've had lots of training as a firefighter, but this class was the most thought-provoking I've ever taken."

- "Steve's been in combat, both in war and in the courtroom. Listen to him!" - "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW!"

- I took another CHL course some time ago, but it wasn't nearly as good as yours. Your class was so much better, not just because you're a lawyer and can explain the laws, but because it was entertaining!"

- "I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve's course…especially the
parts about carrying concealed and the implications, concerns, and
ramifications of doing so."

- "Steve is a serious firearms instructor (and attorney) with a long list of experience to back it up. I’ve taken multiple courses (classroom and live-fire) from him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in improving their firearms skills and education, especially about carrying concealed and the implications, concerns, and ramifications of doing so."
